Introduction to Traditional Bookbinding and Letterpress.
Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland
13th-14th October 2018
Tutors: Glenda Waterworth and Buittle Craft Guild.
This two day class will give students a foundation in traditional bookbinding techniques, learning about materials and equipment while completing several practical projects. Two days gives us time to move between projects, working through two different hardback bindings and several different traditional stitching techniques. The class will take place in the letterpress studio and bindery at the stunning location of Buittle Castle in southern Scotland.
Letterpress is a natural companion to bookbinding and the weekend will include a hands-on demonstration from The Working Print Studio, with a chance to print your own piece to compliment your bookbinding.
Class materials and lunch are provided and limited accommodation is available on site.
